Monitoring data points (IRPCMonitoringDatapointsSink)

View as Markdown

Receives the progress and status data points that the M-Files indexing service reports about each index of the vault.

This interface provides access for providing datapoints for the monitoring purposes.

Overview

For M-Files components only. The M-Files indexing service (the indexer process that M-Files Server runs for the vault's search indexes) pushes data points here while it indexes. Applications should not call it.

• Caller and authentication: the indexer logs in to the vault with Windows authentication as an internal process of M-Files Server, under the server's own service account, and so has the system administrator server role.
• Rights: every method requires a vault session whose login has the system administrator server role (server right log_in_to_any_vault) and the vault rights change_metadata_structure, see_all_objects and license_allows_modifications. A vault administrator without the server role is denied.
• Data: the server stores the data points in the vault per index (source) and uses them for the indexing indicators that GetIndicators reports. Read indexing status through IRPCMonitoringStatus.
• Order of calls: PushDatapointsForIndexingCommon for index-level data, then for each indexing batch PushDatapointsForIndexingBegin and PushDatapointsForIndexingEnd. ClearDatapointsForIndexing removes the stored data points of an index.
